ForwardWebinar: Interstitial Cystitis/Bladder Pain Syndrome: Current Diagnosis and Management - Future Trends (2020)
This course on IC/BPS is designed for the urologist, gynecologist, and advanced practice providers who see these patients and are responsible for their medical care. It is designed to focus on what we know, what we have learned from recent research efforts, how we can best use our knowledge in the care of these patients, and what may be coming in the future. We will discuss definition, nomenclature, epidemiology, possible etiology, and review the latest American Urological Association guideline which provides a working framework from which to practice. The issue of phenotyping, an important new focus on clinical trials, will be highlighted. We will review the major findings of the NIDDK Multidisciplinary Approach to the study of Pelvic Pain (MAPP) which is completing a decade of intensive research on this syndrome. How might this research inform and translate into the clinical arena and help our patients.
Please note this course is FREE to all AUA Members and is an exclusive member benefit. If you would like to become an AUA Member, we'd be happy to have you - think about all the great member benefits!
